Chapter 203: Chapter 203
Spring Spencer finally answered the phone, smiling, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
Cameron Spencer loved this daughter the most, especially since last year’s Spring Festival accident, this daughter had risked her life to save him.
If it weren’t for her, he would have been dead long before meeting Brooke Osborne and the others.
Cameron Spencer’s voice was even more kind and loving, "Spring, I’m much better now. How are things on your end? Have you met the President of Metropolitan North University yet?"
"I’m about to meet him." Spring Spencer said with a smile, "I just arrived. The President of Metropolitan North University is very busy, always in meetings. It’s already quite good that he could spare some time to see someone like me who requested an urgent meeting."
"Well, that’s good, there’s still a turning point." Cameron Spencer said, forwarding the letter Summer Spencer sent to the board to Spring Spencer, "This is a letter your sister sent to the board. Help me discipline her. Doing things out of line , where does she put your brother? Is she pretending not to know, or does she not really know?"
Spring Spencer read through the entire email quickly, looking quite troubled, "Second sister is really too impatient..."
"Impatient? She’s dying to shift the blame onto your brother!" Cameron Spencer snorted, "Her little scheme is nothing in front of those shrewd folks on the board!"
"Dad, can the second sister not be impatient?" Spring Spencer simply voiced her thoughts, "Big brother is the CEO, I’m the CFO, Summer is just the director of two departments. It’s understandable that she feels dissatisfied."
"What’s understandable?! What she studied abroad was some kind of arts, do you want her to be the CFO? I suppose she’d rely on a calculator for subtraction within ten!" Cameron Spencer, speaking of Summer, was full of complaints, "Her mother was so ambitious, looking down on our own people, trying so hard to marry her off to a white man! — Tell me, which respectable white family is willing to marry her? It’s truly self-humiliation!" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Dad, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!" Spring Spencer hurriedly comforted Cameron Spencer, "I’ll talk to the second sister. You just focus on getting better, and enjoy life with Aunt Xiao."
Cameron Spencer took a deep breath, nodded, "Thankfully, you and Justus are still ambitious, otherwise, with only Summer, that wasteful girl, I’d rather my estate than give it to her!"
Spring Spencer could only smile wryly, "Alright, Dad, I know, I’ll call her now."
But as soon as she hung up the phone, the little secretary outside knocked on the door, "Miss Spencer, the President can see you now."
"Thank you." Spring Spencer nodded very politely, then went to meet the President of Metropolitan North University.
She walked into the President’s office, only to find that it wasn’t the actual President, but the Vice President waiting there.
Spring Spencer showed no sign of surprise.
She approached, smiling and shook hands with the Vice President, saying, "Finally, I’ve been waiting for you; you really are busy with a myriad of affairs."
The Vice President laughed heartily and sat with her in the conference room, asking caringly, "Miss Spencer, you’re the busy one. What brings you here today?"
She wasn’t here to just sit around...
Spring Spencer smiled and said, "You’re being too kind. I’m here to apologize for the matter involving our company a few days ago."
With that, she stood up and gave a serious 90-degree bow, "Someone in our group misused their position in public, affecting the reputation of your school and its students. We will do our utmost to make amends."
As the saying goes, a smiling face always wins a fist.
Spring Spencer put herself in such a humble position that the Vice President felt it inappropriate to pursue the matter aggressively.
He only said with a smile, "How shall I put it, we’ve already handed this matter over to our school’s Alumni Lawyer Association, entirely composed of our law graduates, to handle. If you’re here to discuss the case..."
"No, no, no, I’m not here to discuss the case." Spring Spencer hastily denied, "Our company’s legal department is already following up and will seek an out-of-court settlement."
"I’m here today to sincerely offer our company’s apology." With that, she took out a document and said, "This is an agreement signed and authorized by our company’s CEO and Chairman. According to this agreement, our group will 200 million yuan to your school to establish a scholarship fund for underprivileged students. From now on, all Metropolitan North University students’ tuition and living expenses will be fully covered by our group!"
The Vice President casually flipped through the agreement Spring Spencer took out and said with a smile, "Your group is very generous, but our school’s needy students are already fully funded by the government, and there’s no need to accept external donations."
"If you are indeed sincere, why not use the money to build a library? We can name it after your group’s Chairman, Cameron Spencer, how about that?"
Spring Spencer paused slightly and smiled awkwardly.
Two hundred million for a scholarship fund earns the hearts of many struggling students.
If just one of those struggling students becomes someone like Kenneth Osborne, their company will profit.
If there are two, their company will profit immensely.
If there are three, four, or more, then the top spot on the national rich list, held by the Sheldon Family, will have to move over.
As business people, these calculations are clear as can be.
She didn’t expect the Vice President of Metropolitan North University to be so meticulous, leaving no chance for her to "do a favor."
"...a library? That’s certainly fine, but it doesn’t align with the contents of our agreement here. I’ll have to go back and draft a new agreement and then have it signed by our CEO and Chairman." Spring Spencer said with a smile as she took back the document.
"Alright, you can take your time discussing it. After all, I’ve given you the opportunity, whether or not you want to show goodwill is up to you." The Vice President spread his hands nonchalantly, "Additionally, even if you agree to the library, it must be stated in the donation terms that this donation has nothing to do with the lawsuit between our school and your group."
Spring Spencer paused again, quickly glanced at the Vice President, and smiled, "That’s for sure, I’ll definitely report this back to our CEO and Chairman for them to decide."
So she spent half a day here and accomplished nothing.
Spring Spencer left the office building of the Metropolitan North University President and got into her Rolls-Royce Phantom, saying faintly, "To the airport, I want to head back to the Southern Region immediately."
The Spencer Group’s headquarters is in Z City in the Southern Region, and her work focus is also in the South.
The driver drove away swiftly.
As they passed by the university dorm area, Spring Spencer glanced out.
University life here was very foreign to her; she had gone abroad to study from high school and only returned after graduating from university to join the Spencer Group.
At that moment, Kenneth Osborne also returned from outside.
He had talked to Francis Johnson, the President of SSA Private Equity Fund, for two hours, gaining much inspiration. Overjoyed, he immediately called Lawrence Winters once back in the dorm, "Nora, come out, I want to see you."
Lawrence Winters thought something was wrong, so he ran over from the undergraduate dorm area, meeting Kenneth Osborne, who was wobbling over on his bicycle, on the tree-lined path.
"Brother Kenneth! What’s up? Are you okay?" Lawrence Winters waved at him attentively, asking with a concerned look.
"Nothing, I want to take you out for dinner." Kenneth Osborne patted the back seat of his bicycle with a smile, "I’m going to the 4S shop to buy a car tomorrow. Want to come with?"
"Yes, yes!" Lawrence Winters breathed a huge sigh of relief, nodded happily, and jumped onto the back seat of Kenneth Osborne’s bicycle.
Spring Spencer happened to see this scene through the car window and silently sighed as she thought of the mess Summer Spencer had caused.
